  • Publication number: 20230419072
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a contactless chip card that makes provision to obtain a voltage-rectifying-circuit-forming printed-circuit module incorporating one or more SMDs forming a full-wave bridge rectifier, to place this module in a punch provided in a conventional chip-card substrate, then, to form an NFC wire radiofrequency antenna by embedding a conductive wire in the bulk of the substrate, the ends of which are soldered to input terminals of the module. Other electronic modules operating on DC currents are then easily integrated into the card, electrical links with the rectifier module also being produced by embedding an electrical wire in the bulk of the substrate. The disclosure advantageously allows the combination of low cost embedding of a conductive wire by ultrasound to form a radiofrequency antenna and the flexibility of use of SMDs.

  • Patent number: 11796647
    Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus for detecting an object, especially an object remotely placed in a field of view (FOV) using optical pulses with non-uniform pulse power, without exceeding the Accessible Emitted Limit (AEL) A plurality of optical pulses including two or more levels of pulse power may be emitted to detect an object in the FOV. Information related to the object may be generated from the returning optical pulses. The optical pulses with non-uniform pulse power may result in increased probability of detection associated with the pulses returning from the remotely located object, and therefore the density of point clouds associated with the remotely located object may be increased.

  • Patent number: 11775611
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method of quantizing an artificial neural network includes dividing a quantization range for a tensor of the artificial neural network into a first region and a second region, and quantizing values of the tensor in the first region separately from values of the tensor in the second region. In some embodiments, linear or nonlinear quantization are applied to values of the tensor in the first region and the second region. In some embodiments, the method includes locating a breakpoint between the first region and the second region by substantially minimizing an expected quantization error over at least a portion of the quantization range. In some embodiments, the expected quantization error is minimized by solving analytically and/or searching numerically.
